Zeng Huan naturally had a bit of gloating. At this time, he squeezed forward and said with a pretentious attitude: "It's a pity that Chen Shengjun, but it's not a big deal. Chen Shengjun is still very young. If he doesn't do this this year, he will definitely be in high school in three years."

When Chen Kaiyi saw that it was him, his face slightly pulled down, but when he thought about it carefully, what are you concerned about with such people in front of so many people?

He didn't look at Zeng Huan more, turned around and left with the exam card. Behind him, there were still countless voices of regret.

After the crowd was out, Master Wucai hurried forward and said, "Kaizhi, how about it?"

There are too many people here and the scene is quite chaotic. Uncle Wucai obviously couldn't hear what he said just now.

Chen Kaizhi handed him the exam card casually. Uncle Wucai took it curiously. After looking at the exam number, he immediately frowned and scolded, "Which one who has no son or grandson is so harmful to others, it's really outrageous! Kaizhi, who have you offended? You told you to go out and make more friends. Look, look, do you know what this Dingwu number is? This is a nightmare in the provincial examination, hey."

Chen Kaizhi said in his heart, Uncle Master, you are the truth this time, you are really a thing that is a terrible person.

However, his face was calm, he received the exam number and said, "It's okay, just do your best."

Uncle Wucai looked at him with a grudge: "What do you know? I have never hit the pound before. Oh, it's over, it's over." He kept shaking his head while saying that, feeling extremely regretful.

Chen Kaizhi held the exam number, his eyes flashed, as if... the energy of the invigilator was indeed coming to his face.

So what's next...

Where should I go?

Of course, it’s better to take the exam.

It's just that I'm cheated of people like this, and I'm really unwilling to accept it.

Chen Kaizhi was silent for a short time, then smiled slightly: "Uncle Master, let's go."

After sending away my uncle Wucai who had been regretful for a long time, Chen Kaizhi returned home and studied again.

However, good things don’t go out, bad things are spread thousands of miles away. In less than two days, Chen Caizi, who has been in the limelight recently, was arranged to go to the Dingwu examination room, and Jinling knew about it.

The father-in-law in the palace is the invigilator, so that the eunuchs in the palace can get rid of the complex network of relationships in the local area and have the intention of supervising the palace. But who would have thought that Chen Kaizhi would suffer such a big disaster this time.

All kinds of rumors spread like wildfire. Some people think that Chen Kaizhi offended the invigilator, while others think that perhaps it was because of Chen Kaizhi's bad luck.

Unfortunately, this kind of thing can never be guessed, because there are always people sitting in the examination room of Ding Wu, either Chen Kaizhi or someone else. The tribute school has not been repaired for decades. The school officials are conservative and always say they need to repair it, but in the end it has not improved. Can you blame others? You can only blame yourself for your bad luck.

Chen Kaizhi gained a lot of sympathy. This time, this talented man who was extremely promising seemed to be about to fail.

However, Chen Kaizhi was still calm and studied tirelessly every day. Although his mentor was also worried about him, he still went to Mr. Fang to ask for advice on time and went to the palace to study.

The end of the year has come, as usual, it is the New Year. Every time this season, all the officials in Jinling have to gather together. Because local officials are all dispatched from other places, either from their hometowns or relatives are in their hometowns, so there are officials who gather together to stay up to the New Year.

Only then did Chen Kaizhi get a little helpless.

During the Chinese New Year, this New Year is the day for family reunion, but I am alone here!

He sat in this small thatched hut and couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Even if he was in a vast expanse of buildings, he would be afraid that he would not be able to withstand the loneliness of the coming of the New Year.

OK, it’s better to read with peace of mind.

So I picked up the book and read it as usual, relieving my loneliness. In the evening, firecrackers became louder and louder, and Chen Kaizhi was like a hermit in the deep mountains, isolated from the world.

But at this moment, Song Aishi came.

When Chen Kaizhi heard his voice, he hurriedly opened the door for him. Song Aishi looked smiling and said first. Chen Kaizhi hurriedly returned to the congratulations. Song Aishi said: "The county magistrate knows that Kaizhi is helpless in this world. Please ask Kaizhi to sit in the prefect's yamen. All the officials in Jinling have arrived, and everyone wants to see Kaizhi."

Chen Kaizhi hesitated a little and said, "I'm afraid this is inappropriate."

"There's nothing wrong." Song Aishi shook his head and said, "Now Kaizhi's reputation is well-known in Jinling. The prefect value you very much. The county magistrate doesn't need to mention it. He has always been very loyal to you."

Chen Kaizhi couldn't help but smile, and it was hard to refuse anymore. He changed his clothes and followed Song Aisi.

When I arrived at the prefect's office, there was no bright light here.

This is also the rule of the government office in history. Even at this time, we should act low-key. Even if there are silk and bamboo in the yamen, we must not show off outside. After all, they are not merchants, but officials, and only merchants like to show off.

After passing the Yimen Gate, he arrived at the main hall. There were still only a few small lamps inside, which made him look even more low-key. Chen Kaizhi only realized that this prefect Bao was a man who practiced simplicity. How could his banquet be luxurious and grand?

When they entered the hall, they saw the officials sitting high. There were only two oil lamps here, which looked dim. They each had many long cases, but there were only some dried fruits on the case, and there was wine, so they didn't look at the food.

Chen Kaizhi was speechless. Damn it, what about this? What about the New Year?

Sitting in the upper head was the prefect Bao, and there was another person who turned out to be the eunuch Zheng.

Most of the time when Eunuch Zheng heard about the banquet, he came in a hurry. When he arrived here, he was stunned. We were from the palace, so why would you give us this?

His face was terrible, but in such an occasion, he had to say a few words, saying that you, Mr. Bao, are clean and honest.

Below are some school officials, assistant officials and county magistrates. Zheng County Magistrate, Zhu Zi and Zhu County Magistrates were all there. Everyone was very solemn. The main reason is that there are all kinds of people in this occasion. Everyone seemed cautious. Where can they see a little bit of the New Year atmosphere?

Chen Kaizhi bowed to the people politely.

When the prefect Bao saw him coming, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Haha, I'm waiting for Kaizhi to come. Come, Kaizhi, sit here."

While saying that he patted his seat, Chen Kaizhi was stunned. I went, there were so many adults, how could he sit with the prefect?

Chen Kaizhi raised his eyes, but saw Eunuch Zheng with a seemingly non-smile smile on his face.

He thought about it and said that even eunuchs could be superior, why can't I? Besides, Chen Kaizhi is familiar with many officials from all over the Jinling area. He is young and pretending to be "ignorant" will not make people feel disgusted.

Chen Kaizhi bowed and thanked him, and sat directly at the head of the prefect Bao.

At this time, the prefect Bao smiled and said, "This is the little hero who suppressed the salt thieves back then. It's really beneficial to the country and the people. Eunuch Zheng, can you recognize Kaizhi?"

Eunuch Zheng felt a little angry, but he still put his hand on the desk and said with a smile: "I have met once, but I don't have any impression."

This is so deep that I don’t have any impression?

The prefect Bao did not continue to say it, but raised his mouth: "Come, drink."

So everyone raised their cups and drank them all in one gulp, and the atmosphere became lively.

But Eunuch Zheng didn't drink much, but Bao Gonggong soon got a little drunk.

This Eunuch Zheng always looked smiling, but he didn't look at Chen Kaizhi and couldn't help but sigh: "Jinling is such a good place. Tomorrow it will be the New Year. Bao Gong, when we are old, I really want to build a house in this Jinling to enjoy my old age."

He said this just a sigh of emotion. He came to Jinling and gained a lot.

Jinling is a wealthy place. He is also a palace man named examiner, but many people want to borrow him to open the way to Beijing. He can take advantage of this New Year, and he is back with a lot of loads.

Prefect Bao only glanced at him and smiled: "I don't want to be in Jinling. Jinling is so useless. Eunuch Zheng, you are a person in the palace. I respect you very much. I just don't know whether to say it or not."

The protagonists here tonight are the prefect and Eunuch Zheng, one is the parents of Jinling, and the other is the imperial envoy in the palace. Although he was just a small eunuch in the palace, when he arrived in Jinling, he represented the palace.

Eunuch Zheng lost all his interest in this simple banquet, and said lightly: "It's okay to say something but it's okay."

Priest Bao said: "I heard that Eunuch Zheng has met many candidates recently?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience was silently silent and everyone stared at Prefect Bao.

Prefect Bao is known for his integrity and is now well-known in Jinling.

Eunuch Zheng was a little embarrassed. He was an invigilator and not a chief examiner. It didn’t matter if he met the candidates. After all, he didn’t know the test questions. In the past, such things happened from time to time. He drank and said, “Oh, I’ve seen a few.”

Prefect Bao was breathing alcohol in his mouth, looking silent: "Is it a big pay?"

This sudden question made Chen Kaizhi, who was under his seat, feel ashamed.

The man Bao is really fucking... honest enough.

When Eunuch Zheng heard this, his face changed.

What's wrong with collecting money? Do you have to control the rules of the officialdom? We are the imperial envoy, you are the official of your parents, and the water of the well will not violate the river.

He thought that the prefect Bao was simply a madman, and he immediately said angrily: "It's all nonsense. What are we doing? Can the Taigong Master be rude?"

This is the first time.

In fact, it is understandable. If you deny it, it will seem to lose momentum. But you neither admit it nor deny it. It is not your turn to say a word, but it is a real head-on battle.

Prefect Bao smiled, drunkenly, but no longer paid attention to Eunuch Zheng, because to be honest, he really couldn't care what Eunuch Zheng was doing here.
